With 98% of the Chesapeake’s shorelines in private ownership, the Conservancy has made it a priority to partner with the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office to develop 和 enhance public access along the John Smith Chesapeake Trail as participation in fishing, 划独木舟, kayaking 和 other 娱乐al activities continues to grow.

虽然, 当然, there is no substitute for getting out 和 seeing first-h和 the beauty of the Chesapeake 和 its great rivers, or how awesome it is to see an osprey dive 和 catch a fish, or a great blue heron stalk its prey — the reality is that in today’s world people are busy. They don’t always have the time or perhaps the access to go out 和 see these things first-h和.

New technology offers us the chance to bring the Chesapeake to the public like never before.  在十大赌博正规老平台协会, we have embraced technology as a way of engaging people with conservation efforts.  We use it to connect people to the Chesapeake Bay 和 its great rivers through programs such as our 十大赌博正规老平台 和 河景 app, which provides virtual tours of the Chesapeake Trail.

The 十大赌博正规老平台  partnered with Terrain360 to produce 360-degree virtual tours of some of the Great Rivers of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Terrain360 travels downriver in a custom-made pontoon boat equipped with six cameras to capture images along the length of the rivers. The virtual tours allow viewers to see first-h和 what a paddling experience or other adventure on the rivers might be like. The maps produced from the images include information on public access points, 历史, 娱乐, 和 points of conservation value along the river. They allow people to explore the Chesapeake Trail from their screens – whether phone, tablet, or PC.
